deadly look in her eyes.

Still feeling frantic, Jeremy Quest hurriedly ran downstairs and over to Xyla Quest.

Jeremy placed his trembling hands on Xyla's shoulder. "Xyla... How... How are you? Are you alright?" He stammered.

Xyla allowed Jeremy to hug her. Slowly, her heart rate became stable.

After hugging Xyla for a long while, Jeremy finally let go of her carefully. He then turned to look at Christopher. "Thank you for saving my daughter," Jeremy said.

"You're welcome," Christopher replied with a smile.
